John 14:1-14

John 14:1-14Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)

Jesus Comforts His Followers

14 Jesus said, “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me.2 There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you.3 After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back. Then I will take you with me, so that you can be where I am.4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

5 Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father too. But now you know the Father. You have seen him.”

8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need.”

9 Jesus answered, “Philip, I have been with you for a long time. So you should know me. Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father too. So why do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The things I have told you don’t come from me. The Father lives in me, and he is doing his own work.11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or believe because of the miracles I have done.

12 “I can assure you that whoever believes in me will do the same things I have done. And they will do even greater things than I have done, because I am going to the Father.13 And if you ask for anything in my name, I will do it for you. Then the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son.14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
